2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jensen flirted with a 20-20 season while splitting 2024 between High-A and Double-A, and he also impressed in a 12-game run in the Arizona Fall League. A lefty-hitting catcher who turned 21 in July -- two weeks before his promotion to Double-A -- Jensen slashed .259/.359/.450 with 18 home runs, 17 steals on 20 attempts, a 13.2 percent walk rate and a 23.4 percent strikeout rate in 125 games. He then hit .425 with a .582 OBP and four home runs and one steal in 55 AFL plate appearances. Jensen's 31.8 percent hard-hit rate was a very strong mark for a catcher his age, especially one who also commands the strike zone as well as he does. Jensen doesn't grade out as even an average runner, but he's proven to be a savvy base stealer, at least against minor-league batteries. Jensen is a better prospect in OBP leagues than batting average leagues, but he has a pretty high ceiling in both formats due to his ability to hit for power and steal bases at the catcher position. His catcher defense still needs improvement, and it's possible he'll end up seeing time in left field in the coming years. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Royals in August of 2025.
Belts first MLB homers
Jensen went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mariners.
Analysis
Jensen delivered the best outing of his young big-league career Tuesday, notching his first multi-hit game and blasting his first two MLB home runs. His first was an opposite-field solo shot down the left-field line in the fourth inning, then he followed with a two-run drive to right in the sixth inning. The well-regarded prospect had felt the learning curve through his first eight games with a .176/.333/.235 slash line, but his huge effort raised his OPS by 498 points. Jensen made his third consecutive start Tuesday and looks to be gaining traction in Kansas City's everyday lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Major-league action late in 2025?
Sam Dykstra and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com list Jensen as a candidate to be called up by the Royals before the end of the 2025 regular season.
Analysis
Luke Maile has been operating as the Royals' backup catcher since the July 31 trade deadline, when Freddy Fermin was traded to the Padres. Jensen shook off a rough start with Double-A Northwest Arkansas to be promoted to Triple-A Omaha, where he has a .976 OPS with three steals, 11 homers and 30 RBI across 157 plate appearances. It could make sense for Kansas City to call up the 22-year-old Jensen before year's end to get major-league experience behind the dish while working and learning from veteran Salvador Perez.
